March 2023

Welcome everyone to our March 2023 blog, enjoy the next three minutes. 

This month North Ronaldsay hosted a wonderful three day Science Festival full of interesting facts, walks, talks, ideas, demonstrations and fun.

A big thank you to all of the speakers who came from far and wide to our small island.

          The Northern Lights

Not the best photographs you will ever see of the Aurora Borealis / Northern Lights / the Merry (Mirrie) Dancers but these are the best photos I've managed to take so far just on my 'phone.

Orkney was very lucky this month to have such an amazing display.

Something to wonder about

following on from the science theme here is something quite remarkable  -  

taken from the Tao and Zen Facebook page

'All the eggs a woman will ever carry form in her ovaries while she is a four month old fetus in the womb of her mother.

This means our cellular life as an egg begins in the womb of our grandmother.

Each of us spent five months in our grandmother's womb, and she in turn formed in the womb of her grandmother..''

~ Layne Redmond

Book of the month

This book is now out of print but we managed to find this one secondhand online, lovely book.

Around the island ....

Wilma sometimes needs a helping hand on a long walk

but finds extra energy when she's with her friends

Pause for thought

 (from Tao & Zen Facebook page)

So as another month comes to a close,

it's goodbye from Wilma in full terrier mode

Tilly, all cosied up

Zara, dozing in the sunshine

Malcolm, as daft as ever

and me

looking forward to some April sunshine, have fun
